I’m unsure if it’s the hotter temps, Covid getting in the way in which or what, however one thing feels off in the present day and I can’t put my finger on it.
This yr we’re internet hosting a Christmas Eve dinner and doing our large Christmas with the youngsters and grandkids a couple of days after Christmas when Tess and Manuel are on the town. With Tess and Manuel nonetheless in Texas, Jake and Jordan anticipating child boy any day (any hour) and my mother and father both not comfy driving after darkish or not feeling comfy being round a big group of individuals proper now, Christmas appears completely different this yr and I’m simply realizing it I suppose.
So, we’ve got plans and I’m ready, however one thing simply feels……….off, completely different.
Mike had plans final night time, so I spent the night doing Chritmassy issues at house, in an try at getting within the spirit.
I assembled this cutie so the grandkids and I can embellish it Christmas Eve.

I discovered some cute Christmas Coasters this yr and I put this one in my wine glass cupboard cuz I feel I’m humorous.

I’ve a variety of favourite Christmas motion pictures, however final night time I made a decision to strive some new OLD motion pictures.
Mike purchased a brand new TV for the lounge AND we modified cable firms. He has but to arrange the film apps and I informed him it was advantageous. I inform him on a regular basis I don’t even care about TV. So……I watched two motion pictures final night time in the lounge with a hearth going…..on my laptop computer. That’s proper. I did. In order that’s what I get for not having an opinion. Films in my lap.
